Chapter 24: Wanting a New Year's Gift
Aunt Lissaen, who opened Al to pursue the truth this year, did not come to visit, and the disappointed Al had the idea of visiting Aunt Lissaen. Let's see if we can find any more writings by the great mage Lynch from the amiable Aunt Lissaen, if nothing else.
"My little darling, you are still too young, although you are a real man now, haha" Apparently Madame Makety had also heard the ridiculous rumors of her own son. "When you're a little older, you'll be able to travel alone, and sooner or later the eagles of Oret will have to leave the nest"
"Theo, your brother already has countless women, when you give me a baby, I will retire and take care of your child at home. The parent's nagging suddenly shifted to Theo, who was watching the joke, and Tao hurriedly pulled his shy girlfriend to hide upstairs in a panic, and he didn't know if he was taking the opportunity to complete the political task.
In this world of individual power, people pursue a wonderful life and generally marry late. But parents always want to hold their grandchildren early.
After spending the New Year at home, Al had to leave Iron Blood Street and go back to his three-story cottage because of clan rules.
Amanda had many relatives and didn't come back with him. He took a rare and comfortable bath alone.
He leaned back in the bath and tilted his head, his eyes blurring.
"Mr. Albenstock ... Mr. Albenstock?"
"Who... Who?" Al gradually woke up, only to find himself in a dark place, with only a candle floating.
Where is this? Why is he here?
"Mr. Albenstock," the familiar voice sounded again, and he saw a boy come out of the darkness in a neat, elaborate, sumptuous dress.
"Daniel?" the boy turned out to be a cowardly and timid Daniel.
"Happy New Year, Mr. Albenstock. Daniel was as shy as he had been impressioned. Al always felt that Daniel at this time seemed to be different from the Daniel he knew, as if... It seems that it is much more fun and sunny.
"Where is this?Why are you here?Young Master Daniel," Al, not forgetting that he was in a strange place, hurriedly asked
"Mr. Albenstock, I. . . Do I have a New Year's gift?" Daniel didn't answer his question, looking at Al cautiously and expectantly, as the lights around him came on inexplicably. Here it is. Lord Thune's mansion?
The lord's mansion with a flock of servants, at this time, the strange crows were silent, and there was no one, and all the portals seemed to be dark.
"Mr. Albenstock, this. . . This is. It's my New Year's gift to you," Daniel shyly held a book and handed it to Al. Al took it by the gods, and the green book was as cold as iron.
"Do you like it, Mr. Albenstock?" Daniel looked at Al expectantly, and just as Al was about to speak, he saw a drop of blood dripping down the stairs and splashing behind Daniel.
Behind..... There is no shadow, the lights are flickering, the shadow of the furniture is obliquely long, and Daniel has no shadow!!
"Mr. Albenstock, do you have a gift for me?" Daniel's expectant innocent little face seemed strange to Al who had appeared here inexplicably.
"Yes ... At.. Put it at home" Al stammered in response, unable to help but back off.
"Ahh It's a pity. There's no time," Daniel lowered his head in disappointment, and the lights around him suddenly went out, and Daniel disappeared into the darkness that came up.
"Daniel, where are you going?"
Tick... The sound of a drop of blood dripping.
Al suddenly struggled in the water, gasping for breath and looking left and right, he found that he was in the bath at home, and had just accidentally fallen asleep. Al, who had never dreamed of coming into this world, exhaled and held on to the edge of the pool to stand up, but touched something cold. My heart jumped.
The green book.
"Young master, you've been brewing for a long time, do you want to eat some dessert and milk tea" Ali heard the voice and walked in to serve Al dressed.
"Go and get out the short knife and military uniform I brought from home," Al stood solemnly in the water, as if still recalling the strange dream he had just had.
Dressed in a gray cloak that concealed the red and black Boy Scout graduation uniform, he straddled a foot-wide blade made by a master craftsman given to him by his father. Running to the Lord's Mansion under the night and snowflakes, I always felt that something bad was happening.
There was no one keeping vigil in front of the Lord's Palace, and the gate was locked. Al knocked on the door and no one answered, and his right hand pressed on the door to perform a trick: the silent portal obscured the opening and closing.
When I entered the house, there was still no one. The whole house for the Chinese New Year was pitch black, and the strange thing was that there was no sound yet, and even the sound of snow and wind outside had disappeared.
Al Reason reminded himself to turn away, it was obvious that something mysterious had happened. A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.
But Lord Thun was his mentor and was very kind to him. Although he has a slight fetish, he is the person with the most research spirit and the most conversational with Al.
The grace of dripping water reciprocated, and Al gritted his teeth, took off his coat and drew the sharp short blade, turning on the Demon: Dark Vision Sharing.
Al was also trained in invasion at the Boy Boy Camp, and rushed all the way in with the help of the Spell Silence Portal.
Entering the living room, there was the sound of horrible chewing and feeble moans of pain in the eerie darkness. Al turned upstairs and entered Lord Thun's room. Under the dark vision, a bloody and terrifying scene shocked Al.
The naked Lord Boone collapsed limply in his favorite leather chair, and Daniel's body, which was connected to his body, spun strangely three hundred and sixty degrees around him, lying on top of him like a snake, tearing at his flesh and chewing on it. There is no good meat in the whole body. Thun's mouth was foaming with blood, and every now and then he let out a snort of pain, and blood remained at the corner of his mouth. The entire floor was covered in his blood
Tick.. Tick
He twisted his head with difficulty and looked at Al.
"Hurry ... Run"
Daniel turned his head abruptly, his eyes blank and terrifying at Al. Streams of darkness buried the room, obscuring them.
"Mr. Albenstock. Please. Please don't read it. Okay" The lights lit up as Daniel's timid pleading voice sounded behind him.
Al broke out in a cold sweat and stiffened his head. Seeing that Daniel, Daniel without a shadow, Daniel in an elegant, luxurious dress, standing behind him, cowardly, shy, shy.
"Mr. Albenstock, have you come to give me a New Year's present?" the boy looked at him with bright eyes, expectant, longing.
"You... You are... Who" Al retreated in fear.
"I'm Daniel, Mr. Albenstock, can you show me a present?"
Daniel looked left and right around Al like a mischievous child, and sniffed his nose.
Gradually, he lowered his head in disappointment, and his ears and eyelashes drooped
